This show is inspired by a woman by the name of "Ernestine Johnson". If you don't know her this is a blurb on her website: http://ernestinejohnson.com/
Ernestine is also known in the spoken word community, infamous for being uncensored and untamed on the microphone, speaking on matters dear to the heart. Ernestine was the Red Carpet host for McKinley Presents Ent. in Las Vegas, conducting interviews with various celebrities which led to her hosting a sports segment on KCEP Power 88.1. Continuing her journey, Ernestine resides in Atlanta, Georgia. She can be seen on GMC’s original stage play Sugar Momma’s and her latest film Reckless.
I saw a recent post on the Arsenio Show of which Ernestine poetically expresses her view on steriotypess.

(WARNING: This show will have some explicit language and topic but I have kept the setting at Public as I believe younger trans individuals could benefit from the show)
Leelah's suicide has reached so many people but clearly in so many ways. The phrase of "layers of an onion" comes to mind when thinking about producing this show. When peeling layers of an onion we often experience the tears before we experience the benefit of the task. At the top of my list my hope is that Leelah's suicide can initiate some improvements in the lives of transgender people.
I will talk about my perception of these layers and the ramifications to and or for the transgender community.
As with all shows I will be taking live phone calls, live Facebook Chats or Emails.
The Facebook Chat will be at: https://www.facebook.com/events/329791630555886/

It is the end of the year and time for reflection. It has truly been an amazing year for the transgender community in 2014. Recently an article was written about 2014 being the best year ever for the transgender community. I would agree that it has been an amazing year for us in that there is so much in the news about transgender people and much of that has been positive but I wonder if we put too much emphasis on what is going on in the media.
This show will discuss my Trans Hero's and why.
Tell us with who your Trans Hero is? You can Email, Facebook or call live.
I hope you can join us.

No surveys, these are the actual reasons you do not attend Transgnder Events. That is pretty much it.

So, from what I understand, there are gender non-conforming individuals that does not believe the word transgender fit their personal identity so these individuals created the word trans*. As much the effort is admirable to be more inclusive it also has a element of exclusion. Despite these good intentions it is my opinion that this could damage our movement toward social and legal freedom. I will talk about the issues with this label and hope to make a good argument why we need to stop using it.
Please feel free to call me life with comments or questions.

Robby was a young boy that had Spastic Cerebral Palsy and it was my job to help him each morning and evening working for the Illinois Children and Family Services. Robby was neglected by his father because he was born with this disablility but Robby was a special person with a lot of love. His story inspired me for this radio show about acceptance and rejection.
